CarbonBrake, you sure have no clue, beside your manners...
The Embraers are ordered already. The question is to which LH branch they are going. It all depends on the LCY approval. This could be a real stepping stone. Because if they cannot certify, LH wont buy them (for Swiss). Still I'm confident that they will find a solution, e.g. a subcontractor.
EjetSetter, after 10 years you can get around 10 000 CHF/month. Since the SWU pilot's pay is the lowest compared to everyone in LH, there is a chance that this number will rise. Also if you think how many pilots they need.
I agree that other regional airlines do not pay better. I cannot say too much against your plans to apply but - as you can see - there are a lot of frustrated and unhappy pilots in SWU...
More to come
